The last week of September (Sept. 22-28) saw seven properties change hands, according to information provided weekly by the town clerk’s office.
The most prominent land transfer was a foreclosure on 144 Huckleberry Hill Rd..
Once on the market for $42,000,000, Quiet Lake Estate, the 153 acre equestrian estate owned by Leon Hirsch, the former chairman of U.S. Surgical Corp., was obtained by TD Bank for $14,000,000. The estate spans the towns of Wilton and New Canaan with a 10,000-plus sq. ft. Tudor Mansion that includes 11 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, an in-ground heated pool, 2000-plus bottle wine cellar and amazing water views. There is also an 8,000 sq. ft., 11 stall, modern equestrian barn designed and built by international architect Bartholomew Voorsanger. The property includes two stocked lakes, a pond, a trout stream, several waterfalls, scenic horse trails, a riding arena and seven paddocks, as well as two separate, 3-bedroom guest houses and two helicopter landing areas on the property.
The property was up for auction over the summer, prior to the foreclosure.
